Going on a Manhunt (and no, it’s not for a boyfriend)

A few days ago, my friend Cari sent me a link to a blog with a video that she thought was hilarious. Turns out – for once – she was right. The video was hilarious and so was the rest of the blog. Cari’s email also said, “You have to find her and be friends with her. She live in Montana. It shouldn’t be hard.” Little did Cari know, it wasn’t hard at all.

I started following Allie on Twitter on Wednesday, @replied to something she said around the middle of day, and by Thursday evening, we had hatched a very elaborate plan to meet in Missoula on Friday night.

The game is called “MANHUNT!” I put this in all capital letters because I feel it needs to be yelled when explained. So at 5:30 pm today I will get a text message with a clue to somewhere in the downtown Missoula area (we designated boundaries) I must then try to find the location and snap of picture of Allie (she’ll be wearing a biker’s safety light so I can I.D. her). Should I miss her, I will get another text message with a clue, and so on and so on. When I find her, I must take a picture of her and text it back to her – then the game is over. Then we go for drinks. Good times all around.

Keep in mind, I’ve never met this girl. Everyone at my office thinks I’m weird for doing this, but I think it’s going to be fun. I posted it on my Twitter page last night and I got several responses from people (who I’ve also never met) that want to come with me. These are my other Twitter friends that I’ve never talk to but live in town.

So we’ll see how tonight goes. But should I end up dead tomorrow, I linked to Allie’s blog and look for my body in the area between Orange Street and Higgins and the river and Railroad Street.

*Update: Due to an illness in Allie’s family, we have canceled the MANHUNT! for tonight, but we are going to reschedule.
